Although it is called moving, there is not much that needs to be moved. Old Man Lan only brought clothes with him when he came from Jinling. Now the factory has allocated him an apartment, so he tidied up his house and bought some furniture, tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, and utensils.
Mingmei's mother Lan Ling came over and put everything in order, and Mingmei followed behind her to help.
She is on leave today. This is the difference between a large factory and a small unit. For example, Zhuang Zhixi's machinery factory is a large factory with 10,000 people. Everyone rests at a fixed time. If you have something to do, you can only take a leave.
It's different at Mingmei's bus station. There are about 200 people coming and going in their bus station. Mingmei is a station employee herself, having taken over her mother's shift. Almost all the older ones have called them uncle and aunt since they were young, and the younger ones also know a lot of them. Many of them come here to take over the job in order to avoid going to the countryside.
Because everyone is familiar with each other, the bus station's schedule for rest is relatively humane. If anyone has something to do, they can give a notice in advance so that they can take turns to rest. If there is something urgent, they can find someone to take over and return the shift next time.
So Mingmei was quite comfortable during the holidays. She helped her mother to work early in the morning. The room was not big, so it was tidied up quickly. When she entered the room, there was an open kitchen on the left, a square table in the middle of the room, a row of cabinets against the wall, a double bed in the partition on the right, and a large wardrobe and bedside tables.
The room had herself been painted and looked clean, even the glass on the windows was new and shiny. Lan Ling sorted out her father's clothes, threw on the partitioned counter, filled a can with hot water, and then pressed it heavily on the clothes inch by inch.
Zhao Guihua asked curiously: "What is this for?"
Since the mother-in-law is here, she is here too. This is the way to entertain guests. Although she is not coming to his house, they are all in-laws and live in the same courtyard, so she must come. However, Zhao Guihua really didn't understand Lan Ling's operation.
Lan Ling: "I'll iron the clothes so they don't have wrinkles."
Zhao Guihua: “…”
I learned it! In fact, some people who are particular about things will use this method, but Zhao Guihua's family are all workers, not so particular, so they have never used it. Zhao Guihua sighed: "This is really troublesome."
Lan Ling: "It's actually OK."
It was indeed okay. Lan Ling was very quick. Although the old man had quite a lot of clothes, Lan Ling was very agile. Today was Old Man Lan's moving day, and according to them, today was the day to "warm up the pot", so Mingmei's father Ming Xiangdong went out to buy groceries early in the morning.
Truck drivers like him have more connections than others, and buying expensive things is his job. Mingmei's brother and sister-in-law didn't come. Mingmei's brother was busy at the train station, so he took a train to the south and left yesterday morning; Mingmei's sister-in-law's mother is not going to live long, so she has to go there every day recently and really can't take care of this side.
But Old Man Lan didn't mind these things. He didn't ask for his own children to be around, and naturally he didn't ask for a granddaughter-in-law. He was chatting with Zhuang Zhixi in the yard. Zhuang Zhixi actually asked for leave today, but the factory was quite happy to give him the leave, after all, they knew that he was moving for Old Man Lan today.
Old Man Lan looked at the door of the house next door, which was only leaning against the door frame, and said, "Is his family not discharged from the hospital yet?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "No, I guess I'll have to stay for a few days."
Although both the Zhou and Bai families had their doors kicked in, the Bai family has already repaired them. Although Bai Fendou is still in the hospital, old man Bai has returned. After all, he only had some scratches, which is not a big deal.
Zhuang Zhixi sat on a small stool and said, "Jiang Lu came back to pack Zhou Qun's things for the hospital and didn't take care of the door. This door was put up by Aunt Wang." The Zhou family didn't have time to care about the door, but Aunt Wang, as the manager of the courtyard, couldn't just ignore it. She was also afraid of thieves again. You know, this incident was caused by thieves, so Aunt Wang was really afraid that this problem would happen again. Every night for the past two days, they would fasten the bolts inside the courtyard.
She also talked to every household, and in the end, the key is to prevent fire, theft and thieves.
The key point is the last sentence: prevent thieves.
In short, no more throwing things away.
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "It's not easy to be a director in our hospital."
Old Man Lan nodded: "I can see that. Such a harmonious and peaceful compound is rare. It's really rare."
He asked again: "Are these two families not in a hurry to be discharged from the hospital?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Bai Fendou can't get out. Although he was only hit by a brick, it was on his head. He fainted and bled a lot. The doctor will definitely let him stay in for a few days. He can't be hospitalized even if he doesn't want to. As for Zhou Qun, I heard that he sprained his waist because of the brick. Usually, doctors say he can go home to recuperate. It doesn't matter if he stays in the hospital or at home. But Jiang Lu refused. She was afraid that something might happen to her husband, so she insisted on staying in the hospital. She said she wanted to get good treatment. Well, we don't know how long he can stay. I guess, even if Bai Fendou is discharged, Jiang Lu can't let Zhou Qun leave the hospital."
He went to the hospital last night to see what was going on.
Old Man Lan asked curiously, "So...how is his kidney injured?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Who knows? I went to see my nephew last night and heard him howling in the ward. What a coincidence, Bai Fendou and Zhou Qun are in the same ward as our little one."
Old Man Lan: "This is a strong kidney."
Zhuang Zhixi: "That's not the case, it's so strong!"
When Zhao Guihua came out to fetch water, she heard what the two guys said. The corners of her mouth twitched and she was speechless.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Mom, I'll do it, I'll do it."
Zhuang Zhixi was quite perceptive. He quickly took the mother's bucket and said, "Grandpa should buy a water tank. It will be more convenient to use."
"That's right, I'll buy one tomorrow."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed: "What do you mean by tomorrow? Today is the best day. Let's go now?" He said: "I know where I can buy it."
Old Man Lan: “Sure.”
Zhuang Zhixi brought the water into the house, and then followed the old man out. Aunt Wang came out and saw them, and sighed: "Your third child is a warm-hearted person, and a filial and good child."
Zhao Guihua: "That's right."
She asked, "How do you feel about the introduction of someone to me?"
Aunt Wang was immediately shocked. It's only been a few days, maybe two or three days? Why are you rushing me?
Probably because they heard the words "introduce a partner", Lan Ling and Ming Mei came out of the house immediately and looked at Aunt Wang. Lan Ling smiled softly and said, "Aunt Wang, do you still remember me? I'm Ming Mei's mother. My daughter married here, and now my father has moved here too. We will live in the same courtyard from now on. I'm bound to cause you some trouble, so please forgive me."
Aunt Wang: "Well, look at what you are talking about. They are all neighbors in the same compound. It's not a problem whether they are troublesome or not."
Lan Ling smiled softly and said, "Then I feel relieved. Actually, when my father first moved in, we also hoped that he would live with us, but he didn't want to. There was nothing we could do. We, as his children, could only let him do what he wanted. You see, he is already over 70 years old. As his children, we just hope that he can live a happier life. So we let him do what he wanted. But he is not young anymore, so I am a little worried. Fortunately, my in-laws also live in this courtyard. If anything happens, they can let us know. That's great. Our old man came from Jinling. He is old and his living habits are different from here. He may have some minor frictions in life. I hope everyone in the courtyard will tolerate him."
Aunt Wang: "I understand, I understand."
You can tell at first glance that this old man has a strong personality. You, with your weak appearance, will not be able to convince him.
Aunt Wang is from the Northeast. She is tall, loud and bold. She came to the city when she was a teenager. The girls in the city are bold and bold, so she is used to it. But Mingmei's mother speaks softly and her voice is too soft. As a woman, she feels reluctant to speak to her loudly.
"Mingmei's mom, don't worry, I will help you take care of the elderly more." She promised, patting her chest.
Lan Ling: "Thank you. By the way, I heard you say that finding a partner is my dad's business, right?"
Aunt Wang nodded: "That's it."
She observed Lan Ling, wanting to see what this daughter thought about her father finding another partner.
Lan Ling smiled lightly and said, "Thank you for your help. Don't worry, our family will not let you work in vain. We will prepare a very nice matchmaking gift for you."
Aunt Wang was a little surprised, but then she thought, this old man has found several wives, and he has been married for the fourth time. Even if his daughter has some objections, she should be used to it. So she really doesn't need to think too much.
She said, "I've been looking for it recently. I've asked a few people. Let me get the inside scoop on what they say."
Lan Ling smiled: "Thank you."
At this time, people from the opposite house came out, Aunt Su came out with clothes to wash. Usually, Wang Xiangxiu would wash her family's clothes after get off work, but she was rarely seen busy with this, and today was the first time. She smiled and greeted a few people, and started working seriously, but her ears were inevitably perked up.
Zhao Guihua raised her eyebrows.
Lan Ling also raised her eyebrows.
Aunt Wang seemed a little thoughtful.
Mingmei leaned over eagerly and asked curiously, "Mom, what kind of person does my grandpa want to find?"
She scratched her hair, feeling that she couldn't keep up with the pace. Was her grandfather going to look for someone else? Lan Ling: "Your grandfather likes good cooks."
The daughter still knows her father a little bit. When she said this, Aunt Wang and Zhao Guihua nodded. Aunt Wang looked at Aunt Su again and said with a hint of meaning: "In fact, sometimes when looking for a partner, you don't have to be so determined to follow all the rules and regulations. Sometimes, if you like each other, no matter how many requirements you have, you don't care."
Lan Ling lowered her eyes, smiled softly, and said, "People's preferences are not easy to change. Although I don't live with my father for many years, I know him to some extent. He prefers those who are straightforward, generous, and healthy. Those who are weak and can't take care of themselves are definitely not acceptable. If you cry first when something happens, my father will probably vomit to death. Besides, we don't want to cause trouble to my father, and we don't want him to support someone else's family. Don't you agree?"
She glanced in the direction of the sink seemingly casually.
Even though Aunt Wang was a carefree person, she understood it at this moment.
What she wanted to say, this elder sister Lan Ling actually saw through it.
And she also understood what Lan Ling wanted to say. To be honest, when Old Man Lan was looking for a partner, she thought of Aunt Su for a moment. Although Aunt Su was weak, she was very strong. It was not Aunt Wang's fault. After all, Aunt Wang was not like Zhao Guihua, who saw through Aunt Su's nature. She herself had a good impression of Aunt Su. If Aunt Su hadn't always protected her grandson who was like a thief, Aunt Wang would have thought Aunt Su was better.
But no one is without flaws, so Aunt Wang thinks Aunt Su is actually a good person.
This is also due to Aunt Su's management of her reputation in the courtyard. Others cannot do this. For example, Zhou Lishi is a well-known mean person. Like Zhao Guihua, she also has a reputation for being fierce.
This is especially true for Aunt Wang.
Only Aunt Su was very smart and good at managing herself. Aunt Wang felt a little sympathetic towards her. She felt that this matter was quite suitable for Aunt Su.
It was just that she didn't match them up randomly because Old Man Lan said he wanted to find someone healthy. But she was thinking that if they were introduced later, they could live together in the yard and get to know each other, and maybe they would fall in love with each other.
She would rather not thank the matchmaker for the gift, hoping that her old neighbor of so many years could find a suitable person. As for Old Man Bai, Aunt Wang really didn't consider him from the beginning. She felt that she saw it clearly. Old Man Bai was just wishful thinking. If Aunt Su really wanted to be with Old Man Bai, would she have waited until today?
In such a short time, Aunt Wang really thought a lot. She quickly realized that the other party might have seen through her plan and was secretly hinting at her. Aunt Wang was not a bad person. When she saw that the other party, from the father to the daughter, was not happy, she immediately said, "You are right. I know about this."
Lan Ling smiled and said, "Today we are warming up the pot for my dad, come and eat with us, big sister. You see, we are already bothering you before we even move in. You can't not come."
Aunt Wang: "Well, what's the trouble? Since I promised, I will try my best to find it for you."
She was overthinking at first. Now that she had made up her mind, she should hurry up. After all, there were two old widows in the courtyard, so it would be better to find one sooner. Aunt Wang was such a person. Since she knew that her original idea would not work, she did not dwell on it too much and adjusted it immediately.
Lan Ling: "Then you have to come and eat."
Aunt Wang hesitated for a moment and said, "That's fine. I'll help you."
"Help me with the cooking later. My dad has finished cleaning up."
Aunt Wang: “Okay!”
Several old ladies immediately started chatting. Mingmei's mother was actually only two years younger than Zhao Guihua, but she was better maintained than Zhao Guihua. If you said there was a ten-year age difference, some people would believe it. Compared with Aunt Wang, who was big and strong, she looked younger.
No matter what time it is, women always have this kind of topic.
Zhao Guihua: "Mother-in-law, look, there is only such a small age difference between us. I look so much older than you. You have to tell me more."
Lan Ling smiled and said, "I have always valued myself and taken care of myself since I was little. I have been using clam cream since I was little. Later, when I was a little older and saved some money, I bought vanishing cream. I am using Pechoin now. I can't be reluctant to spend money on these things. It's not like we don't have enough food to eat, so we don't have to save all the money. We have workers in our family, and since we don't have to live a bad life, why don't we treat ourselves better? People live their lives and they always have to make themselves happy."
Zhao Guihua sighed silently that her mother-in-law was so advanced in thinking.
Aunt Wang: "Well, that's what I said, but I can't bear to do that. My children are still young, so why shouldn't I save some for them? They will all get married when they grow up. I have two older grandchildren."
Lan Ling: "No matter how much you save, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
Aunt Wang doesn't quite agree with this point of view. They haven't saved much, and it's so difficult to save money nowadays.
She muttered: "If beauty costs money, then I would rather be ugly."
Mingmei: "Pfft!"
Zhao Guihua also laughed and said, "Old Wang, you are really... But if you want me to buy Pechoin, I feel bad. But if I can buy food, I'm happy to do so. Eating more good and nutritious food is good for your health."
Lan Ling nodded: "That's right. It depends on the individual. Everyone wants different things."
Mingmei said angrily, "What should I do if I want to eat good food, wear good clothes, and use good things?"
Lan Ling glanced at Zhao Guihua, flicked her daughter's head, and said, "You are the only one who likes to talk. What does it have to do with what we adults are talking about? Go away."
Mingmei: "I want to listen and learn too."
Her mother sat on her left and her mother-in-law sat on her right, both of whom were people with a lot of life experience.
However, before Mingmei could learn any real lessons, her father came back.
"Xiaoling, I'm back!" A loud voice rang out, and Mingmei quickly stood up: "Dad."
Ming Xiangdong walked in with a vigorous look, holding a chicken in his left hand, a duck in his right hand, and carrying a big pumpkin on his back.
He said, "Come, take a look, what else do you need to prepare?"
Lan Ling: "That's enough."
Aunt Su's eyes immediately glued to the chicken and duck. She swallowed silently, and hated this family even more. What were they showing off? They were showing off that their family had good food. These chickens and ducks would be great if they were given to her grandson. They would be enough for two or three days at least.
She swallowed her saliva, thinking that since Aunt Wang could eat for free, she should be able to do it too.
She waved her hands, walked over weakly, and said, "Let me help too. We are all neighbors, and I am alone at home, so I can come and help. If you have any clothes to wash in the future, you can give them to me. I will wash one or two pieces, it doesn't matter."
Lan Ling: "That's not necessary. My dad is very demanding..."
"Oh, oh, look at my filial daughter. She's out there spreading my good reputation while I'm not at home." Old Man Lan also came back. Zhuang Zhixi and a strange young man were carrying a jar and they were both sweating.
The young man followed the old man's instructions and put the jar in the kitchen. Old Man Lan took out a dime and gave it to the young man: "Okay, thank you."
The young man happily put it away and said, "Uncle, call me if you need work next time."
Zhuang Zhixi wiped his sweat and said, "When I first walked here, I felt that the jar was not heavy at all. It became heavier as I walked. Look at the sweat on me."
He dragged his wife to play the victim, Mingmei took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat: "Are you stupid? Can't you spend a dime more to find someone?"
She muttered quietly.
Although the current policy is tight, some old trades can still find people to work, but no one is doing it in public. Don't ask, if you ask, it's to serve the people and help for free.
As for the money? Oh, isn't that the ten cents owed by the boss?
In this kind of situation, it's useless even if you catch the wrist.
So Mingmei thought Zhuang Zhixi was a fool for being so hot.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Actually I'm not tired, I'm just hot. I didn't think it was hot at first, but it's getting warmer day by day this afternoon."
The young couple was getting close to each other, but in an occasion like today, they had no sense of existence at all. Old Master Lan: "My filial daughter, have you packed everything for me?"
Lan Ling: "I've packed it up, please don't be so sarcastic with me."
Old Man Lan nodded: "You are still useful. Go cook. Make the duck into salted duck."
Lan Ling: "Okay, okay."
Old Man Lan turned his head to look at Aunt Su: "Why don't you leave? What are you doing? Do you want to eat for free?! Oh my, this old lady is not greedy at all, she is really not greedy at all."
Aunt Su: “…”
Oh shit!
Old bastard! Old Blue: "Hey, where's your Thief Saint?"
Aunt Su's defenses were broken at once. She could tolerate other things, but if she didn't, how could she have a good reputation or take advantage of others? However, her three eldest grandchildren were her life and the root of the Su family.
She couldn't help but frowned and said, "Uncle Lan, look at what you said. My child is a good child. You are bullying me by saying that. You think we are widows and easy to bully, right? You can't just come and bully us, a widow with a child. My child is a good child."
Her eyes were red and she looked aggrieved.
Just now he was Big Brother, now he is Uncle Lan! Old Man Lan felt even more aggrieved: "The war caused by your thief has spread all over the place, and I can't even ask about it? Look, we are neighbors. I just want to recognize his face to avoid being beaten to death if caught in the future. At least I want to give you a break. You don't appreciate it. Okay, your child is a good child. Oh, this child is so good. This child never steals anything, this child never causes trouble, and this child has never caused a war in the yard. This child is really a rare good child in the world. It's hard to find, too hard to find. How can there be such a good child? It's really great!"
Aunt Su was so angry that her chest heaved and she almost fainted.
This old bastard!
Old immortal!!!
What the hell is that he said!
Old Man Lan's words hit Aunt Su's pain point more than the word "thief saint". Damn!
This "good kid" and "great guy" are simply intolerable. How can a person be so weird?
Aunt Wang saw that Aunt Su was about to explode with anger and faint, so she quickly tried to smooth things over by saying, "I'm going to the toilet. Old Su, do you want to go too? You want to go too, right? Come on, let's go together."
It's not that she didn't want to find a better reason, but it was too sudden, this matter was too sudden, and she was not so smooth-talking, so trying to smooth things over was already her limit. It's just awkward, at least drag Aunt Su away, otherwise if she gets angry and takes a knife to chop people, it will be over.
Aunt Wang was pitiful. There were so many things going on in their courtyard that she even doubted that the weak Aunt Su could kill people. After all, even Jiang Lu, who always had little sense of existence and was weak and oppressed by her mother-in-law, could hit Bai Fendou on the head with a brick and cut his head.
What else can't happen?
So it didn't matter if she was embarrassed. She pulled Aunt Su out and said, "Let's go to the bathroom together."
This is really the behavior of an elementary school student.
The two old ladies left the yard together. Aunt Su was actually still very angry. She said, "Old Wang, I'm not being petty when you say this. How can they say that about a child? My grandson is a very good child. How dare they say such things about him?"
Aunt Wang disagreed with this. She also had children at home, but they were not raised like the Su family. She thought for a moment and said earnestly, "Aunt Su, I know some of my words are unpleasant to hear, but I have to talk to you. It's time to take care of your children. If you don't take care of them now, when will you? Take Jinlai for example. He is ten years old this year. Are you going to let him be like this? Look at how everyone looks at these children. Do you still want them to take care of you in your old age? Are you going to go to jail to see them?"
Aunt Su's face darkened when she heard this. She said coldly, "How can you say that? My child is so good, what do you mean by that? How can you curse someone like that? You still watched the child grow up."
Aunt Wang: "I have no ill intentions, but he is always so ignorant, and each time he does something worse, it hurts to hear the truth. You should discipline your child. You can still manage it now, but what should you do in the future?"
Aunt Su wanted to kill Aunt Wang. She just felt that this old woman was a piece of shit. She was just jealous that his family had three grandchildren, so she said such things. She was really vicious. No wonder his family could only marry grandchildren. She was so immoral.
Conscienceless.
She hated him so much in her heart, but she couldn't say it on her face. She still had some rationality. She tried to calm down, put on a sad face, and said, "My children are not bad children. They are really good children with affection and righteousness. But my family is having a hard time. The children can't eat enough, so we can only think of some solutions. What else can we do? Children don't know so much when they do things! Besides, don't you see that my children steal from other families? They steal from the Zhou family because the Zhou family always bullies our family. Don't the children know it? The children know it too! They also want to vent our anger. My Jin Lai is really a good child."
Seeing that Aunt Su was still determined that her child was good, Aunt Wang sighed and said, "You..."
For a moment, she didn't know what to say. She glanced at Aunt Su and suddenly saw Aunt Su's eyes full of hatred. She was startled and took two steps back. Aunt Su also realized that she was exposed, so she quickly adjusted herself and pretended to be concerned: "Are you okay?"
Aunt Wang looked at her again and saw that she looked normal. She suspected that she was dazzled, but she still felt a little uncomfortable. She said, "I'm going to the toilet."
She didn't persuade Aunt Su anymore, shook off Aunt Su's hand, and hurried into the women's restroom. Aunt Su stood there without moving. She didn't really want to go to the restroom, but was just pulled out. She hesitated for a moment and turned around to go back, but when she turned around, she saw a wild dog running over with its tongue spitting.
Aunt Su got angry when she saw this.
She immediately thought of the incident in which Jin Lai was bitten on the buttocks by a wild dog, also a black wild dog. Seeing that there was no one around, she could not reveal her true nature, so she immediately picked up a stone and threw it at him, cursing in a low voice: "I'll beat you to death, you wild dog!"
Her stone hit the wild dog with a thud, and the dog let out a howl and ran away with its tail between its legs.
Seeing the cowardly look of the wild dog, Aunt Su instantly felt much better. She quickly threw another stone over, and then searched for another one. If you dare to bully her grandson, you must accept her revenge! This person didn't want to. Although they were wild dogs, they didn't attack people easily. It was their family who took the initiative to provoke trouble twice, which was a bit wicked! She smashed several of them in succession, making the wild dogs howl, and Aunt Su put her hands on her hips happily.
But she was much smarter than his grandson. Jin Lai had beaten the dog, but it was a disaster. He got bit on the butt and had to get a rabies shot. She was a little more experienced and kept a distance. If the wild dog really chased her, she could throw the two stones in her hand and buy time to get into the yard.
"Awoo, woo~" the wild dog bared its teeth at Aunt Su.
Aunt Su was not afraid and threw the stone again: "You dog, you still think you are tough with me? You dare to bully my grandson? I will beat you to death today and make dog meat soup!!!" Aunt Su was very happy. She only dared to do this when no one was around.
She hit it again and again. Suddenly, Aunt Su felt a noise. She turned around and saw a big yellow dog running towards her from behind. It jumped up with a howl and bit her on the butt.
“Ahhhhhh!!!”
Aunt Su screamed frantically.
She threw the stone directly at the dog's head, and the big yellow dog was hit immediately. It quickly ran away with its tail between its legs. Aunt Su covered her butt and screamed. Zhao Guihua and the others heard the noise in the yard, their faces changed, and they ran out quickly. Similarly, Aunt Wang also ran out hurriedly with her pants held up: "What's wrong?"
When everyone came out, they saw two wild dogs, one black and one yellow, both baring their teeth at Aunt Su. It could be seen that the black dog was injured and blood was dripping from it.
Aunt Su: "Save me!"
Aunt Su gritted her teeth and turned to run, but the big black dog rushed towards her with blood and bared teeth. When everyone was stunned, it bit Aunt Su's butt with a howl - the other side of her butt!
Aunt Su screamed and fell to the ground. The big black dog bit her thigh again.
"ah!!!"
Aunt Wang didn't dare to act rashly despite the heart-wrenching cry. She still remembered clearly the last time Aunt Zhou was implicated and fell into the toilet with feces all over her hands. Now she was also at the toilet door, so she didn't dare to act rashly.
Don't mess with me!
The Ming family was stunned. It was the first time they had seen such a thing. It was really the first time! To be honest, these days, we have seen a lot of wild dogs eating shit, but not many wild dogs biting people!
I've always heard that there's a lot going on in this yard, and now I see it, I really see it.
Ming Xiangdong was the first to react. He picked up the broom beside the gate and waved it, "Go, go, go quickly, go quickly!"
The two dogs, one black and one yellow, saw that there were so many people around, so they ran away quickly together. Wild dogs run fast, and they disappeared in a flash.
Aunt Su cried out, but Ming Xiangdong didn't go forward to help. He didn't know the man, so there was no need to do good deeds. Besides, Ming Xiangdong was a truck driver, which was different from his son Mingcheng, who was a train attendant. He was a truck driver and had seen all kinds of people who cut off the road over the years.
One of them is a weak person lying on the ground asking for help.
So Ming Xiangdong would instinctively be wary of such people and stay away from them. It's not that he thinks Aunt Su is that kind of person, but Ming Xiangdong has already formed the habit of doing things. He won't get close to them, let alone help them.
Aunt Wang: "Lao Su!"
She ran over at this time and asked, "How are you? Are you okay?"
"Wild dogs are biting people. These beasts want to eat people! Beat them to death. They all deserve to be beaten to death!"
At this time, other people in their yard also came out, as well as people from nearby yards. With such a big commotion, who wouldn't come out to see what was going on?
"Oh my god, what happened?"
"Can't you see? The dog bit him."
"Oh my god, how come it got bit on my butt!" Although it was already mid-to-late March, Aunt Su was still wearing cotton pants. The cotton from being bitten was exposed, so she could tell at a glance where the bite had happened.
"Oh no... that big black dog, is it the one that bit her grandson last time?"
"Oh my god, this is fate!"
"Uh... can this be described as fate?"
The guy who said it was fate was not polite and said confidently: "How can it not be fate? It was the same dog that bit my butt last time. I think it is fate. Maybe the big black dog has a mortal enemy with their family, so it came here to seek revenge..."
“Ah, this…”
Let's start discussing this.
Old Man Lan, however, could tell with his sharp eyes: "The black dog was injured by a rock."
Everyone followed his words and looked. Hey, that's right? There were several stones thrown randomly on the street, and many of them were stained with blood. If they were thrown after the dog attacked, then Aunt Su was too quick.
It should be... Aunt Su who hit the dog first. Everyone's mouth twitched. They really couldn't understand this family.
Why do his family members always go and provoke stray dogs when they have nothing to do?
What kind of hobby is this!
"Oh my God, my life is so miserable! This is too hard! Help me..." Aunt Su cried miserably. Aunt Wang said, "Hurry up and help. We need to send him to the hospital. The dog has bitten him several times."
Besides, if people of their age fall like this, we don't know if they have broken any bones. What should we do?
"Hurry up!"
Old Man Lan: "It's not possible for my family. Today is the first day of moving into a new house, and it's also the day to warm up the pot. If I go to the hospital, it will be unlucky. There are so many people, we won't be a big problem!"
The Ming family definitely cannot go, and besides, they are not from this courtyard.
It was Ming Xiangdong who chased the dog away.
Zhao Guihua narrowed her eyes slightly, and seeing that Aunt Wang was sweating anxiously, she said, "I'll go with you." She just thought of it as a good deed and watched the fun at the same time.
At this time, several neighbors from the yard came out. They quickly found a wheelbarrow and helped the person onto the cart. Aunt Su couldn't sit on it at all, so she could only lie on the wheelbarrow.
Zhao Guihua: "You guys eat, no need to wait for me, I just happened to be visiting my eldest grandson."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay."
Zhao Guihua, along with Aunt Wang and a few others, pushed the cart and rushed to the hospital. Aunt Wang also remembered the howling of wild dogs she heard in the toilet. It was clearly an "attack". She was really helpless.
She said, "Aunt Su, what are you doing? Your Jin Lai provoked the stray dogs, but he is just a child and doesn't know anything. How could you do this? Look at how much pain he is in after getting injured."
Zhao Guihua muttered, "The old one does this, and the young one does the same. Your family really has a genetic tendency to bully dogs. I don't know if the old one learned it from the young one, or the young one learned it from the old one."
Although the dog bit someone, in the final analysis, it is not the dog's fault.
Dogs are so miserable, they always run into crazy people.
She said, "Can't you mess with a different cat next time?"
A young man who came to help said seriously: "Aunt Zhao, that won't work either. That's just like the saying, inviting cats to tease dogs."
"puff!"
Zhao Guihua couldn't hold it back and spurted out, then she said, "It's almost there."
Aunt Su was howling. She couldn't hear what anyone said at this moment. She just felt uncomfortable all over her body, especially her buttocks.
Zhao Guihua: "It's just around the corner. Oh, by the way, you need to bring money when you go to the hospital."
Aunt Wang patted his head and said, "Who brought it? Put it on first?"
Everyone shook their heads. At this time, even if he took the money, he couldn't say that he took it. Who knows when he will pay it back? His family is a well-known poor family. Everyone shook their heads, and Aunt Wang was embarrassed.
Zhao Guihua: "Hurry up and go to the factory to find her daughter-in-law Wang Xiangxiu and ask her to prepare the money. We are all neighbors, why should we advance her money? Besides, who has the money to advance her money?"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Aunt Wang: "Who of you wants to go to the machinery factory..."
Aunt Cui in the backyard: "I'll go!"
"Okay, but you have to let Wang Xiangxiu hurry up."
Aunt Cui: "I know, I know."
She was afraid that she would have to take a penny, so she decisively refused to follow him. She quickly ran to the machinery factory. When she arrived at the factory, it was already lunch time, and the lunch bell rang. The workers went to the cafeteria one after another.
Aunt Cui rushed to the guard and said, "Uncle, I'm looking for Wang Xiangxiu, a female worker in the workshop. Her mother-in-law was bitten by a dog and is dying!"
At this time, Wang Xiangxiu was walking towards the cafeteria with her lunch box, looking for someone to buy her lunch and get some bargains. In the past, she could ask Bai Fendou if there was no one, but Bai Fendou was hospitalized the night before, so she had no choice.
As she was looking around, she saw an older woman running towards her: "Wang Xiangxiu, go to the door and check. She said your mother-in-law is dying."
Wang Xiangxiu: “!!!!”
She looked at the man in shock, then let out a roar and rushed out.
"What's going on? Isn't her mother-in-law quite young?"
"Who knows? It's true that her mother-in-law is weak. Maybe she's really dying?"
"Oh, if this person dies, his family will be even worse off."
"That's not..."
"There are so many things going on in his family..."
Wang Xiangxiu couldn't bear to hear what others said, and ran to the door quickly, tears streaming down her face. How could something like this happen suddenly? She ran very fast, and just as she was about to reach the door, she saw a figure, even faster than her, rushing to the door quickly. It was not someone else, but the old man Bai.
Old man Bai was even more anxious than Wang Xiangxiu.
Aunt Cui stood at the door and saw that Old Man Bai had already started to cry. She said: "..."
Is that really the case?
"What happened to my eldest sister?"
"How is my mother-in-law?"
They arrived almost at the same time and spoke at the same time.
Aunt Cui: "..."
"Tell me! What happened? Why are you in a daze? Where's Miss Su?"
Aunt Cui quickly came to her senses: "The man was bitten by a dog several times and fell down. I don't know what his condition is now. Wang Xiangxiu, you have to go there quickly. Also, you have to prepare the medical expenses."
When Wang Xiangxiu heard about the medical expenses, she cried even louder. But the one who cried even louder than her was the old man Bai: "I have the medical expenses!!! Treat him, no matter what, even if I have to sell everything I have, I have to treat him!"
Aunt Cui was shocked!!! She couldn't understand it, but she was very shocked!
Is this what love is?
